"Mill Bay, a quiet cove on the Dale Peninsula, is a site of huge historical significance.

Henry’s Landing:

This is the story of Henry Tudor, born locally at Pembroke Castle, and his spectacular homecoming. Henry had spent most of his life in exile in France.

In 1485, at the age of 28, he returned to his homeland with an army of about 2,000 men and a mission to defeat the King and reclaim the English crown.

Henry and his men chose to land at Mill Bay, at the mouth of Milford Haven. This was close enough to his home of Pembroke and also close to allies. Yet it was hidden away from the eyes of the King’s supporters.

After coming ashore, Henry and his men marched towards Haverfordwest, gaining support en route. Onwards they then marched to Carew Castle, home of Rhys ap Thomas, a very rich and powerful man."
